Then why do the fan game developers consistently nail what everyone wants? Christian Whitehead made a career out of it. Sonic Mania was the fruit of that labor. There is the modernization of Sonic Adventure 2 project that rebuilds the game on UE5 I think that everyone was universally floored by.

It isn’t that Sega has an impossible task to please Sonic fans, it’s that either their corpo overlords dont let them do what is needed to pull it off, or their egos are too large to allow them to listen to their fanbase. Sonic Team was internally pissed that Sonic Mania was more popular than the project they had worked on at the same time (I believe it was Sonic Forces), and then later the new 2.5d Sonic game didn’t do so well which rubbed them raw even more.

Sonic fans dont shy away from communicating what it is that they want, you know this to be true.

Thats a very depressing article, im sorry to hear the bad news.

It has for some time now, but the quality is still hit or miss. Some days I get perfect streaming, other days its either a garbled mess or it can’t capture at all.

Webcam has always worked but nobody I know uses that.

Open source devs that suck are worse than non- open source devs that are actually into their project!

Non-open source devs suck by virtue of being closed source, period. It doesn’t matter how good their project is, if it’s closed it goes in the trash.

Its interesting to see how Linux-like NT paths are.

Oh, you think its the bugs that are the main culprit? I have a CoPilot to sell you

The themes and tech support are totally fine to charge for (as long as they’re original themes that the zorinOS developers made or contracted someone to make).

Brave browser as default is borderline as bad as just sticking to windows if the point of you getting away from windows is to dodge the shady stuff Microsoft has started doing.

He really wasn’t at first, and it was extremely clear that he allowed it in as an olive branch to the Rust community. A “let’s see if I’m wrong by giving it a chance” moment.

I think my biggest gripe with the Culture of Rust is that they keep trying to force it into the Linux kernel and utilities, but even worse than that, they keep trying to replace things WITH DIFFERENT LICENSES. Ones with less system owner protections. Worse ones.

Been waiting for this to be downloadable for a long time. Are you saying this is available via the AUR? I may have to install Arch on my media raspberry pi units.

No but I could see SteamOS taking this crown in the long run

Oh hey Marcus!

They haven’t released them yet, only announced.

Who the fuck is complaining about having both? Thats such an insane take.

They still support the original steam controller and the steam link though.

Why would you call closed source client apps “open”?

Its not better per se compared to other Linuxes for gaming, just pre-configured to take a lot of the basic setup work out of it for you.

No, it doesn’t.

Yup. Its not the default anymore (and for good reason), but it is still supported for now. This is a pretty straightforward solution to the problem.

Both are really good but it depends on your hardware setup and your goals.

Do you have multiple monitors of different resolution and DPI mixes with a primary monitor thats 1440p or 4k at 90 to 144hz and/or variable refresh rate and older/cheaper side monitors that are 1080p 60hz? Wayland is going to be your best friend.

Do you have a single monitor setup (or identical monitors) that you primarily program on or do system admin work that you need remote desktop from? X11 is gonna be your go-to (for the foreseeable future).

Do you want to try exotic window managers like a sliding window manager? Wayland is the way to go.

Wacom tablet? Wayland is working on it but its not quite there yet so X11 for you artists. This also lets you keep using color profiles until Wayland gets that implemented too (my bets are on Plasma getting it first).

And so on.
